I presume you got it running with the old stuff or you are on another computer. If you got the dell running again, go to HERE and run a scan to make sure the memory you got is ok to use in your computer.

Thanks for the info. Yes, I have I have enough memory to handle 2GB.
The "PNY" sticks seemed a little tight fitting but did go into place. Why is it then that when the 2GB are in, the motherboard isn't reading them? It beeps 3 times & then there's nothing. Could it be the brand name of the sticks?

No typo here. It reads that way on the package. But they are PNY 1GB sticks, (2 to a package) sorry for the confusion. I think I'll just go ahead & return them & try some other brand or just give in & call Dell.

There is no reason to call Dell. Dell charges outrageous prices for memory and they don't make their own memory anyway. It's usually Micron or Samsung modules. Order from the link I posted. The Crucial memory is made to work in your system. Crucial is the same company as Lexar, very reputable.
